    This is just a tip not a correction on my part. On the planks and Boards in your wheelhouse rub stain on all the edges it adds detail. I look forward to your videos Tom USA

      Yes, the wood is dark brown with some red.
      There is less light down there - so it would be darker, anyway.
      Also, while we are at it, they prob need some heat and sound insulation since the engine is right there.

    **Tip on towing other boats in the future.** While your friend's boat was less length than yours, always position your stern (the boat conducting the tow) behind the towed boat's stern about one or two meters. It will give you much better maneuverability. Nice job on the restoration.

    Hi Statt des Elektrohobels könntest du einfach die Handkreissäge nehmen für die graden schnitte. Mit dem passenden Sägeblatt hast du auch kaum Ausrisse. Noch besser würde das mit einer geführten Handkreissäge gehen. Führungsschienen für deine Handkreissäge kann man auch selbst bauen. YT ist voll von Tutorials.

    You should seal all the edges of your floor boards with marine epoxy in order to stop water ingress. Cut edges in multilayer engineered ply such as what you are using are very susceptible to water. After you epoxy the edges, it is a simple matter to sand and paint them, providing a very waterproof barrier and attractive edge. As others have suggested, I would also add some damping strips between the boards and the floor framing to keep out some of the creaks and knocks as the boat moves and flexes underway.

    First of all, thank you for this jazzy music. I loved it !
    Then, if I may say so, you first said that you didn't know anything about boat refiting a boat (actually, your boat is exactely the same I'd love to buy for my project : Paris to Istambul by the canals and rivers, and back by the sea, including Greece, Madedonia, croatia, Serbia, Italy and Corsica). But every move, every thing you're making has obviously thought, and fits perfectly to the objectives. You're clever, man ! You're working as a King ! Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. That's why I'll help you with a kofi, as you have a dream and deserve to realize it. No dream may not be smaller than others, dreams are made to be lived. Bravo again.

      It wouldn´t hold up to wear and tear. I think he should epoxy coat the edges with tinted epoxy. It would weatherproof and conceal the edges. However we don´t know if he is going to treat the surface of the plywood boards yet? He could veneer them or plank them with hardwood.

    I think your new floor looks great. The only suggestion I would make would be to paint the edges of each panel dark brown or flat black so that the seams are not so visable. but that's a personal preference I guess. I assume that living on the water is cheaper than apartments or homes in Germany which is why it seems to be a growing trend?
